 3 batting records that Virat Kohli can break in 2020

​

Virat Kohli is a run-machine, who is well on his way to cement his status as a legend of the game. At the age of 31, the Indian skipper is already considered by many as one of the greatest batsmen of all time. Kohli averages in excess of 50 in all three formats of the game, and has been swatting aside batting records with nonchalance.

Kohli has pulverised bowling attacks all over the world with the disdain of a monarch and no challenge seems insurmountable for the master batsman at the moment. He has left all his peers behind with his incredible scoring rate, and his consistency is unparalleled.

In this article, let us look at three batting records that Kohli can break in 2020.

#3 Fastest to 12,000 ODI Runs

Virat Kohli has already scored a staggering 11,609 runs in ODI cricket

The legendary Sachin Tendulkar holds the record for being the fastest to score 12,000 runs in ODI cricket. The Master Blaster took exactly 300 innings to achieve the milestone, and he did so in a World Cup game against Pakistan at Centurion in the year 2003. This long-standing record of Tendulkar is indeed in danger of being overhauled by the man whom many see as the heir to Tendulkar’s throne.

Kohli has already scored a staggering 11,609 runs in ODI cricket, and has played just 239 innings. And with India slated to play as many as nine ODIs within the first three months of 2020, this record might be overhauled by March 2020.

#2 Fastest to 8,000 Test Runs

Virat Kohli has currently scored 7,202 runs in Tests

Kumar Sangakkara holds the record for being the fastest to score 8,000 runs in Tests. The Sri Lankan batting icon took 152 innings to complete the milestone. On the other hand, Kohli has currently scored 7,202 runs from 141 innings in the longest format of the game. The Indian skipper has 11 more innings to score the remaining 798 runs and push Sangakkara to the second spot.

With the kind of form that Kohli has been in white flannels, there is every chance that he will be the fastest to 8000 Test runs in 2020.

#1 Most ODI hundreds at Home

Sachin Tendulkar holds the record for scoring the most ODI hundreds at home.

Sachin Tendulkar holds the record for scoring the most number of ODI hundreds at home. In the 160 innings that the Little Master played in India, he scored 20 ODI hundreds, which is the highest by any player at home. Tendulkar scored 6,976 runs in ODIs played in India at an average of 48.11, and Kohli is on the verge of going past this record of Tendulkar as well.

In the 89 innings that Kohli has played in India, he has already scored 19 hundreds, at an average of 60.81, and is just two hundreds away from overhauling Tendulkar's record. With India scheduled to have a three match ODI series against Australia in January 2020 and another three ODIs against South Africa in March 2020, Kohli could go past his batting idol in early 2020.
